Blockchain pilot between Lyon and Marseille


The closure of a blockchain pilot scheme coordinated and part-financed by the Marseille Fos port authority in France has proven the solution’s scope for enhancing intermodal freight movements on the Mediterranean-Rhone-Saone (MeRS) corridor.

 

Focused on export processes between Lyon and Marseille Fos, the pilot was carried out by the cargo software company Marseille Gyptis International (MGI), Buyco, which provides shippers with a collaborative platform simplifying container imports and exports and blockchain solutions company Keeex. The tests were supported by various manufacturing companies together with their road and river transport suppliers.

 

The blockchain solution allows users to share access to protected data ranging from customs documentation to cargo tracking including the loading/discharge, weight and origin/destination of containers. Alongside Marseille Fos, the pilot was financed by La Banque des Territoires – an arm of the public sector investment institution Caisse des Depots – and the waterway authorities Voies Navigables de France and La Compagnie Nationale du Rhone.
